Chapter 359 There is no such person.
Sister-in-law Yao accepted it with a smile, opened it and found that the inside was soft and light to the touch, and the style was one she had never seen before. She was even more satisfied with Su Laosan.
"Sister-in-law, this dress is beautiful. I've seen this goose down, it's light and warm. It will definitely look good on you. Just tie the belt around your waist, and you can wear it with a skirt or pants. Add some high heels, and you'll look both beautiful and cool!" The eldest daughter-in-law praised with a smile.
Su Laosan then took out a belt he had bought for his eldest daughter-in-law's brother, and a cashmere hat for her mother. The old lady was afraid of the cold and loved the gift.
Li Banxia's coat is a cashmere coat, a style not available in mainland China.
In the past year, Li Banxia has been working with her father to improve her pharmacology and medical skills, and to regulate her body. She no longer works day and night to earn money and serve others. Not only has she successfully lost weight, but her skin has also become moist, fair, and tender, and she looks younger with a more energetic appearance.
If you went out with Su Laosan, who was always out in the wind and sun, running around, people would believe you were siblings.
He also brought small gifts for Aunt Qiu and Arno.
Both my maternal grandparents and I have them.
besides……
He was thinking of giving Erniu and her three nephews gifts, and even if they didn't meet, it would be good to secretly send the gifts over. But the villagers said that she had left the village a long time ago, and he felt inexplicably uneasy. Then, something happened to Uncle Xiao, but now that everything was alright, he wanted to go back as soon as possible.
The two soon arrived at the health center.
Su Laosan greeted Li's father and Aunt Qiu, then ran off to make a phone call.
Aunt Qiu was about to say something, but Li Banxia stopped her with a look and sighed, "Let him go."
Su Laosan ran to the phone, took a few breaths to calm himself down, and then dialed the number given to him by the villagers of Erniu Village.
When the call connected, the person frowned upon hearing him mention "Sister-in-law Fang," and asked him to give his full name. "With everyone using the surname 'Sister-in-law Fang,' where am I supposed to find someone like that?"
Su Laosan was stunned for a moment; he really didn't know what Fang Dasao's name was.
After much pleading and promising to give him an extra ten yuan for his errand when he returned, the person who answered the phone finally went to help him find the person.
Sitting by the phone, Su Laosan grew increasingly anxious as he waited.
The phone rang more than ten times, and he answered it more than ten times, but it was never Sister-in-law Fang calling.
Half an hour later, the phone rang again.
Su Laosan was already feeling a bit hesitant to answer the phone, as if he were returning home. The young apprentice guarding the phone glanced at him, then stepped forward and picked up the phone. "Hello, this is Li's Medicinal Cuisine and Health Center. How can I help you?"
A moment later, the young apprentice called out to Su Laosan, "Brother Su, they're looking for you. They said she's Fang Da..."
Before he could finish saying "sister-in-law," Su Laosan rushed over, excitedly shouting, "Give it to me! Give it to me!"
The young apprentice handed him the phone and stepped back. Su Laosan stepped forward and said "Hello" into the receiver.
"It's me, Su Laosan."
As soon as Sister-in-law Fang's voice came out, Su Laosan felt dizzy and slumped into a chair, his hand gripping the microphone tightly. He was both happy and excited, and after moving his mouth several times, he finally managed to utter a sound, "Sister-in-law Fang, where...where did Erniu go? I called the village store, and the auntie there said that Erniu left the village a long time ago. Can you...can you tell me?"
"Thank God, it really is you."
Sister-in-law Fang's voice was also somewhat agitated, "I knew you would look for Erniu. Luckily, I left my phone number at the consignment shop. Su Laosan, write it down. Erniu went south to stay with her cousin Hu, the place you sent her to back then. Erniu has been gone for almost a year now. Why are you only calling now? No, no, don't tell me anymore. Hang up and call Erniu right now..."
"……wrong."
Su Laosan suddenly spoke up, calling out to Fang Dasao, "No, I just came back from the south. I passed by their area and no one mentioned Erniu to me. Wait a minute, I'll call Uncle Jiang first."
Sister-in-law Fang was stunned for a moment.
"What's the meaning?
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a busy tone on the other end of the line; Su Laosan had hung up the phone.
Sister-in-law Fang frowned and muttered to herself, "What did Su Laosan mean by that? What did he mean by saying that he just came back from the south and no one mentioned Erniu to him?"
Su Laosan hung up the phone, his hands trembling.
He stayed in the port city for a while and in the Yuecheng for three days. He had two meals with his older brother's comrade-in-arms, Uncle Jiang. He had originally planned to see Su Hongying, but she received an advertising notice at the last minute and went to the sea to shoot the advertisement. She wouldn't be back for three to five days. The short time he spent on the phone was squeezed out while she was putting on makeup.
Hu's cousin was on a delivery mission to the mainland, but he never saw her.
But if Erniu were with them, Hu's cousin would have told Uncle Jiang, and Su Hongying would have known too, but no one told him, which is too strange.
Su Laosan's mind went blank for a moment, and he couldn't remember his older brother's comrade's phone number.
After a while of being in a daze, another call came in, and he stared at the phone without reacting.
The young apprentice reached out and answered the phone. He found it was a customer calling to request delivery. He wrote down the address and then hung up.
He called out to Su Laosan, "Brother Su, are you alright?"
Su Laosan shook his head, took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. The more panicked he became, the more confused he would be, and the less likely he was to remember the phone number, the less likely he would be to find Erniu.
Several phone calls rang in succession, but Su Laosan still couldn't remember.
He decisively got up and went to find Li Banxia. "Mom, what's my uncle's contact number? I need to talk to him."
Li Banxia looked at him in confusion. Wasn't he supposed to be calling Erniu's sister-in-law? Why was he looking for his uncle?
"mom!"
Su Laosan's voice choked, and he looked at her expectantly. "Sister-in-law Fang said that Erniu went south to find her cousin Hu, but I've been there. Uncle Jiang, my uncle's comrade-in-arms, never mentioned Erniu to me. I need to find him to confirm, but I can't remember his phone number. I've also forgotten my uncle's..."
Seeing his flustered and helpless appearance, and thinking of the white hairs hidden under his black hair, Li Banxia picked up a pen, wrote down a string of numbers, and handed it to him. "Your uncle might be in training and may not be able to receive it in time. Be patient and don't rush."
Su Laosan nodded repeatedly, thanked Li Banxia, and ran off with the paper in his hand.
Aunt Qiu watched his retreating figure with concern. "Banxia, people forget things when they're extremely panicked and scared. Third Brother has already developed a physiological stress reaction to Erniu's situation..."
"...I can see that."
Over there, Su Laosan called looking for Brother Li. Luckily, Brother Li answered the phone, listened to his story, gave him the number, and even teased him, "So young, yet with such a bad memory..."
Upon receiving the phone number, Su Laosan was almost moved to tears. Without pausing for a moment, he hung up on his uncle and dialed Uncle Jiang, his uncle's comrade-in-arms.
When the other person heard that he was looking for Fang Erniu, they asked him in confusion, "What's your full name?"
Su Laosan was stunned for a moment. Erniu's full name?
"Let's call her Fang Erniu."
Upon hearing this, the other party replied definitively, "There is no such person."
